I've never used pads so I don't know how they work, but I would think leather would hold in moisture and make her frog soft and tender (obviously that would adjust in time when she goes back barefoot, I'm just curious). If you feel like explaining pads to clueless me I would appreciate it. :D I hope the set up worked for the hunt!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674435382697862104.post-18578539898051152742014-08-26T09:18:52.782-07:002014-08-26T09:18:52.782-07:00Have you asked him what his concerns are?

I can understand some farriers are reluctant to try new things, especially on clients horses! :) I would be interested (If I were you) to know the reasons behind your farrier's reluctance to use these on your horse. Does he not think they'll stay on? Hold up? Provide enough traction? Too much traction? Having used them for a year and a half now, they do stay on as long as you use bent #10 washers in conjuction with City Head Slim 5 nails. No washers, and the nail heads pull through the urethane material. They do trap dirt, but using leather pads and packing (so far) seems to alleviate that issue. For riding on turf, Grip Studs are necessary (2 in heels minimum, 2 toe/2 heel better) or you'll be slipping and sliding. Wet turf especially. Keep working on him. Maybe he'll give it a try! :) Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966293876908587817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674435382697862104.post-88892816869229260532014-08-26T09:12:24.231-07:002014-08-26T09:12:24.231-07:00Thanks!

So far I can't convince him to work with me on this - he's too good of a farrier to let go. I'm going to keep trying though!<br /><br />How Sam Sees Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305827999885588071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674435382697862104.post-27218342449654533692014-08-25T10:28:20.565-07:002014-08-25T10:28:20.565-07:00Nice kicks!Nice kicks!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.com
